Facility Inspections
The main reason this nursing home received a decent overall grade is its excellent government inspections in recent years. We gave it one of our better grades in that area, with an A. This is a notably better score than the facility's overall grade, which was decent but certainly not elite. We weigh several aspects of a nursing home's inspection report in determining these inspection grades. One key factor is health deficiencies. You should keep in mind that the severity of the deficiencies is arguably more meaningful than the number of deficiencies, as some of these end up being relatively insignificant. This particular nursing home received 4 deficiencies on its inspection report. Overall, this is still a good inspection report, but we'd always recommend looking into any deficiencies you find troubling.
Long-term Care Quality
In addition, we awarded this facility a B+ in our long-term care category. This is one of our better scores. Nursing homes that receive this kind of score in this category typically provide consistent around the clock care to make sure residents are kept in good health. After assessing the quantity of care provided by nurses aids and other staff, we then looked at the nursing home's vaccination records. This facility vaccinated 100 percent of its residents for pneumonia. Vaccines are critical to keeping patients out of the hospital. Finally, this nursing home was able to limit hospitalizations. It had only 0.02 hospitalizations per 1,000 long-term resident days, which is an impressively low number.

Nurse Quality
Another strength of this nursing home is its favorable grade in nursing. We gave them one of our better scores in that area, with a grade of D. There are numerous subcategories included in this area. Most of the datapoints reflect the quantity and quality of nurse staffing. With only 0.3 hours of nursing care per resident each day, this place's nurse staffing levels were quite a bit below the national average. Finally, we also assessed some nursing quality-based metrics in calculating our nursing grades. This nursing home performed well when it comes to minimizing its residents' major falls and pressure ulcers.
Short-term Care Quality
The next category we assessed is short-term care. Unfortunately, we gave it a lowly F in this category, which is a poor score. This is clearly a major concern. Short-term care ratings are crucial for prospective residents seeking rehabilitation. Rehabilitation typically requires additional skilled nursing services. This means a broad scope of services, spanning from registered nurses to physical and respiratory therapists, as well as other forms of therapy. It looks like this nursing home was subpar in terms of its quantity of registered nurse and physical therapy hours offered to its patients based on the data we considered. The final datapoint we looked at in this category is the number of residents that eventually returned home from the facility. This facility struggled quite a bit in this area as well, with just 4.7 percent of its residents returning home.
